B4J Question [SOLVED] Autocomplete box size

[jroriz]

Hi.

Is it possible to increase the size of the autocomplete box?

The autocomplete was created like this:

Sub SetAutoComplete(Items As List, Field As TextField)
    Dim jo As JavaObject
    jo.InitializeStatic("org.controlsfx.control.textfield.TextFields")
    jo.RunMethod("bindAutoCompletion", Array(Field, Items))
End Sub

hi!

with your current jo, you can implement the following methods:

controlsfx.bitbucket.io/org/controlsfx/control/textfield/AutoCompletionBinding.html

There you can set prefwidth, maxwidth etc. etc.

Sorry, I do not know how to do this ...

 

[EnriqueGonzalez]

like this (did not tested it):

Sub SetAutoComplete(Items As List, Field As TextField)
    Dim jo As JavaObject
    Dim jo2 As JavaObject

    jo.InitializeStatic("org.controlsfx.control.textfield.TextFields")
    jo2 =  jo.RunMethod("bindAutoCompletion", Array(Field, Items))
   
    jo2.RunMethod("setMinWidth",Array(100))
   
End Sub

    Dim jo2 As JavaObject

    jo.InitializeStatic("org.controlsfx.control.textfield.TextFields")

Hi.

How do I create an ItemSelected event for the object?

 

[EnriqueGonzalez]

Hi!

See attached file:

I used JcontrolFx library but if you are using additional Jar should work all the same.

Hi!

See attached file:

I used JcontrolFx library but if you are using additional Jar should work all the same.

And how do I get the value that is in the completion property of args (0)?

 

[EnriqueGonzalez]

with this code:

    Dim jo As JavaObject = Args(0)
    Log(jo.RunMethod("getCompletion",Null))

 

[jroriz]

with this code:

    Dim jo As JavaObject = Args(0)
    Log(jo.RunMethod("getCompletion",Null))

Thank you.

 

[jroriz]

with this code:

    Dim jo As JavaObject = Args(0)
    Log(jo.RunMethod("getCompletion",Null))

One last thing: I need to pass a custom parameter to the event.

 

[EnriqueGonzalez]

I am afraid, it is not possible to have custom parameters on this option. But you could use a global variable (a map for example) and use it as your parameter.

 

[jroriz]

like this (did not tested it):

Sub SetAutoComplete(Items As List, Field As TextField)
    Dim jo As JavaObject
    Dim jo2 As JavaObject

    jo.InitializeStatic("org.controlsfx.control.textfield.TextFields")
    jo2 =  jo.RunMethod("bindAutoCompletion", Array(Field, Items))
  
    jo2.RunMethod("setMinWidth",Array(100))
  
End Sub

Hi.
Now i need to "rebind" the list. But if i call this sub again to refresh the list, a new box is created. Can you help?

 

[EnriqueGonzalez]

Hi Joao!

please see attached example!

There is a function dispose, but you need to have a reference to the binding to use it. so i passed both initializations to global variables.

 

[jroriz]

I actually knew about dispose. I just did not know how to use it.
Another coffee ...
Thank you again.

 

[EnriqueGonzalez]

Thank you Joao! very much appreciated!
